What to look for

  • Portfolio work on skin tones and skin types like yours.
  • A trial for weddings. Not usually necessary for anything else.
  • Ask about the products used if your skin is sensitive or you are prone to breakouts.
  • For a party, confirm how long per person and build in a buffer.
